The Sydney Sixers secured a dramatic 3-wicket victory with just one ball to spare against the Adelaide Strikers on January 15. With this win, the Adelaide Strikers have been knocked out of the tournament. But it was Steve Smith who stole the show once again with another match-winning performance.
Steve Smith’s Brilliant Knock Steers Sixers to Victory
The Sixers’ chase got off to a rocky start with early wickets, but Steve Smith anchored the innings with a composed 52 runs from 31 balls. Fresh off his stunning 121* in his BBL comeback match against the Perth Scorchers, Smith’s steadying presence was crucial.
However, his dismissal in the 10th over put the Sixers under pressure, needing 36 runs from the final 24 balls. Ben Dwarshuis and Hayden Kerr held their nerve to seal the win, with the Sixers finishing at 183/7 in 19.5 overs.
Adelaide Strikers’ Struggles with the Bat
Earlier, the Strikers’ batting faltered after being put in to bat. Early breakthroughs left them at 65/3 at the halfway point, and despite a late surge from Ollie Pope (57) and Alex Ross (48), the Strikers managed to post 182/5. Jamie Overton’s quick cameo of 32* from 14 balls lifted their total. Jack Edwards (2/22) and Todd Murphy (2/24) were the standout bowlers for the Sixers.
